Summary
Hey Besties! To conclude Mentor month, we have a continuation of last week's interview with the illustrious Robert Greene! Again, Robert is the author of 6 New York Times bestsellers including the infamous The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction. So get your pen and paper out, we’re taking notes
This week on Almost Adulting Robert takes a deep dive explaining the difference between deception and lying by telling us stories from his past and how through trial and error he learned some of his greatest powers. Violet and Robert also teach tactics to help us not overreact, and some extremely valid reasons as to why you should NOT send that text…at least in the moment. Finally, Robert tells us the honest truth about why when people show us their true colors the first time, we need to believe them. This applies to that guy you don’t wanna get rid of too! These lessons are the perfect way to end the year and get us ready to take on the next - and this is gonna be the best year yet. Happy Holidays Besties and stay safe! See you in 2023!
